Great movie!!!
This movie stands the test of time. I remember seeing this movie on the big screen when I was little.I was so moved by young Larry Fishburn performance that I found myself crying right along with him during the big tearjerking scene. So much talent even at that young age of 12. It's hard to believe that the sweet kid in "Cornbread Earl and Me" grew up to be the mean Ike Turner in "What's Love Got To Do With It"! One of my favorite movies as a child, "Cornbread Earl and Me" is now one of my children's favorite. The teenagers love it for the violence( angry mob attacks cops,woman gets 'pimp slap' in the face by crooked cop, ... etc.) but I like it because of the beautiful touching story. Buy it, you wont be disappointed.

I've seen this movie years ago,and i luv it !!
This movie was so touching, to where its not even funny,and whats so sad about it is that,the same things that happened in the movie is happening in real life as i speak..its funny people can change..but not the polices..

Superb !!!!!!
I remember when I had saw this movie when I was a little girl and I had saw it on BET last year this is a great movie it is sad but it is still good I enjoyed this movie and I would recommend anyone who enjoys blaxploitation movies would enjoy this movie this is a great film about a little boy and his friend Cornbread he was a great basketball player and he had just recieved a scholarship to go to a college to play basketball and had dreams of becoming a pro- basketball player and one day a white cop accidentally shoots him and he dies and a big contorversy stirs in this small towm and causes havoc and trouble for everyone and really takes a toll on his friend and
makes it hard for him to cope with his loss but eventually things get better and then he goes on with his life but he never forget about his friend "Cornbread" . This is a touching heartwarming film that would make you just want to cry so therefore when you watch this movie be sure to have some tissue on hand. I would recommend anyone who is fond of dramas to purchse this video!!!!

Good film about the importance of friendship and manhood
Aw later for you, Leonard Maltin! This movie is GREAT! This is an important story about friendship and manhood. Young Larry Fishburne's admiration of "Cornbread" rings true with any child who had an older friend to admire as a role model. But the outstanding part is where Fish's mother (Rosalind Cash) tells Fishburne to go to the courtroom stand and BE A MAN and not to be intimidated into giving false testimony of Cornbread's death at the hands of the police as the other witnesses were! This scene borught tears to my eyes and a "standing-o" from the audience I saw it with. This scene alone, with the message it gives to young people about integrity, is worth the price of admission alone!

Truly a bad movie
I am a true spaghetti western fan and could not find it in myself to enjoy this movie. Jim Brown basically has a cameo before disappearing for a while and then coming back to help save the day. Lee Van Cleef may be the one bright point and even then it is not one of his better roles. The story is about a teenage boy who hunts down the gang who murdered his family. Also renamed Kid Venegeance. Avoid at all costs!

kid vengeance is classic drive inn mayhem!!
Kid Vengeance is a cold tale of revenge that is sometimes quite disturbing yet van cleef turns in a good performance as usual.Filmed in Israel with some interesting background and worth a look to die hard spaghetti and eurowestern fans!

Young boy seeks revenge on group that killed his parents
It is the classic western in which the strong, silent man is embodied in a ten year old boy. His stoic pursuit of the vicious gang that killed his parents is both engaging and emotionally rewarding. ... Read more

NOT SO WISE GUY
Before taking on the role of the wiseguy in the acclaimed CBS series, Ken Wahl was making fluff movies like this 1987 corker. It is mildly entertaining, as it invokes memories of the cop series of the 70s and 80s. Wahl plays a journalist whose daughter is kidnapped by a terrorist group. He is joined by veteran character actor George DiCenzo in trying to get his daughter back. Doug McClure (Trampas on THE VIRGINIAN) plays a clueless cop on a diet, addicted to licorice sticks and spouting out bad euphemisms. There's not a lot of action in this movie, and what little there is, seems awkward and uninspired. The soundtrack itself sounds like a Tommy Mottola 70s record. Unoffensive if you're into this kind of thing.

Can someone help me with this movie?
Since there is no review on this movie, I'm not sure if it is the one that I am searching for. I am hoping that someone will respond to this review and tell me if this is the movie where they process dead people for food? Its been years since I've seen the movie that I am refering to, but forgot the name of it. ... Read more
